Scientific interests	Merete Bilde is a Professor at the Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen. She has studied the kinetics and mechanism of gas phase oxidation of natural and anthropogenic hydrocarbons in the atmosphere as well as properties of atmospheric aerosols. Her work currently focuses on cloud droplet formation and atmospheric gas/particle partitioning of semi-volatile species.
